summary
Embellished with tales and parables, the work, according to Zinberg (p. 352-53) has “a definite social-ethnographic interest.” Upon publication however, Wetzlar’s morality book met with limited success in the face of a stronger desire for Yiddish works of a more esoteric and mystical nature
